That makes their group schedule:

August 3, New Zealand, Manaus

August 6 France, Belo Horizonte

August 9, Colombia, Manaus

That also means the USWNT will be hopping back and forth to the Olympics' most far-flung stadium during group, as opposed to groups E and F, which switch off between the relatively much closer Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
